Week Two What Images? Where to get them? Which image to use?

Looking for images for your blog leads you into a potential minefield of copyright. There are many images on the internet that you can use but that come with certain conditions. These conditions may include things like you can use but not edit, or that you must attribute. Attribution

Attribution is quite tricky, it means that you must give credit to the photographer and also respect the rest of their conditions. Attribution

Google – Good Enough?

In the example about, I’ve not edited the picture (NoDerivs), I am not making money on this blog(NonCommercial) and I am attributing and linking back to the owner. This is pretty difficult for adults and more so for younger pupils. Attribution

You have three choices: 1.Use only your own images. This gives lots of opportunities for creative photography. 2.Use images that do not need attribution, public domain ones. 3.Use creative commons and similarly licensed photos and learn to attribute. Attribution
